About Tanzania Early Childhood
Development Network (TECDEN)
Tanzania Early Childhood Development Network (TECDEN) is a national umbrella network of Early Childhood Development (ECD) Civil Society Organizations working in partnership to promote early childhood development in Tanzania.
TECDEN was found in December 2000. It was formally registered on 30th June 2004 with registration NO:00NGO/00007826 by the Registrar of Societies, Ministry of Home Affairs under the societies’ ordinance, 1954 and re- registered in 2015 and 2023 consecutively under NGO Act with registration NO:00NGO/R1/00178.
A society where all children are developmentally on track to reach their full potential
TECDEN is determined to collaboratively work with other networks, coalitions, institutions, the private sector, the government, development partners and other potential stakeholders to influence policies, programs and practices related to Early Childhood Development (ECD). This can be achieved through sharing of information, experience and generating knowledge; and understanding of ECD; and work towards early investments in young children of 0 – 8 years in Tanzania.
The overall goal of TECDEN is to coordinate and empower ECD non-state actors in promoting the ECD agenda in the country.
